Congressman Payson said OF railroad
matters: He was disappointed and disgust
ed at the way things had been going as to
the new law. The commissioners had no
5warrent for the suspension of the long and
short haul clause, and exceeded their au-
thority in suspending it. The arguments
upon which they acted ndoing SO were the
same that were made against the bill in
congress, and were then overrnled. If there
was anything congress insisted upon it was
that clause. He thought that at the next
congress the friends of the bill would pro-
pose TO repeal the clause which gave the
commission any discretion at all in the
matter, and he thought congress would in
sist that the long and short haul be given
a trial.
